Removing Grass Stains From Your Sweater
Start by brushing off any dirt or grass clippings that are still attached to your sweater. Then, turn the sweater inside out and place it in a sink or basin with cold water. Use a mild detergent, like liquid dish soap or a specialty wool or cashmere detergent, to create a sudsy solution. Soak the stained area for 10 minutes before rubbing the fabric gently between your fingers to help loosen the stain. Don’t use much pressure or rub too hard, as this may cause the fabric fibers to break down.
After a few minutes, empty the sink and thoroughly rinse the cleaning solution from the affected area. Turn the sweater back right-side-out and dab the stained area with a white cloth or paper towel to blot up any remaining moisture. Inspect the fabric to see if the stain is still visible. If it is, repeat the stain removal steps with a small amount of diluted bleach.
Mix a few drops of non-chlorinated bleach with a half-cup of cold water. Place stained area of sweater in the mixture for several minutes before checking for results. Once the stain has lightened, rinse the area with cold water, then turn the sweater inside out and lay it flat on a towel. Roll the towel up like a jelly roll and press it against the fabric to absorb excess moisture.
When dry, turn the sweater right-side-out and admire your handiwork. Grass stains don’t stand a chance against these simple cleaning steps!
